Thanks for the pictures...Wilder's hair is so long!!!! I always wanted that... I'm good, a little anxious, but good... If everything goes good this week, we are for sure having to baptisms!!! whoo hoo!! But that's the catch... IF everything goes well...

I was just about to send you some pictures of the new house, but I just now realized that I grabbed one of the empty sd cards that doesn't have any pictures on it... sorry... Let's just hope that next week there will be some baptism pictures on there also... :)

That's so great about Shane going through the temple next month. I know not everyone in his family understands... There's a quote in Preach My Gospel from Pres. Boyd K. Packer that I love... "When the true doctrine is understood, behavior changes...." The quote keeps going but that's the main part that I remember... Because none of my investigators are going to change unless they really understand the importance of the Gospel... That's why they need to be taught well... Para que entiendan...

I really liked the re-dedication of the Buenos Aires temple because when Elder Arnold, talked you could tell that he really understood the importance of the temple and the magnitude of a blessing that it really is... It was great :)

Wow..... So sorry to hear about Uncle Russell. How is Aunt Julie? How are Jordan and Ashley? and Russell's family?

This is a busy p-day, so yeah, short letter from me, also...

Brooke and Jeremiah working to go to the temple? Fantastic!

Stake calling for Shane, that's what I'm talking about, baby :)

The transfers came, but I'm staying here with Elder Cross. By the end of this transfer--about the beginning of November--I will have been in Santa Rosa for 6 months.... wow. I might have to deal with summer here in Santa Rosa. That'll be brutal.

I'm really exited for these packages you sent. I hope the get here soon...

We might be able to baptize for most of the weeks this transfer... I so hope... I'm so excited....

(from Mom) DEBIT CARD??I've been praying about it, still don't know what to do. If I cancelthe one I sent, and send you another, you will probably receive thefirst one the next day, but it will be cancelled! Still don't knowwhat to do.... really hoping you are going to write today and tell meyou got it. Love, Mom

No I still haven't gotten the package yet... I hope it's in the office by now or even on it's way here to Santa Rosa. You send stuff to Bahía Blanca, and then they send it from the mission office to Santa Rosa. They receive packages in the office every Wednesday and then they send stuff off Thursday to all the other cities throughout the mission. But for some reason (I have no idea why) the Elder who is in charge of boxing all the stuff up and sending it off decides to send the packages through a different mail everytime, which makes it take even longer to get here... really un organized. We ask for stuff from the office and it doesn't arrive for 2-3 weeks when it should get there in 3 days. I'm so mad everytime we get stuff from the office because hardly any of my stuff is there.... (just venting a little bit).

This is the last week of the transfer so we'll see if the ship me off somewhere else or if I end up here in Santa Rosa for 6 months...

We are really trying to see if there can be a baptism this weekend... Of one of two girls.... OR maybe even both... It would be a miracle.

Lo que quiero en la encomienda... In the next package, I would love: 3 packs of the Stride tropical fruit, Twizzlers, a big thing of pretzel M&M's (2 if you want), Reese's sticks, Toblerone (milk chocolate), Wildberry skittles... (all of that and a lot of it would be fantastic :)

Alright I love you mom... I'm gonna go work my butt off now.

Btw, the temple re-dedication was really great. A really great experience... I'm have the program for the scrapbook :)

Haha, I'm getting so tired of waiting for packages... I swear I feel singled out because every one of my packages just takes FOREVER to arrive. I still haven't gotten the package with the debit card. I'm going to call the Materiales (the Elder in charge of the materials) and see if it arrived and he just didn't send it, which usually doesn't happen. I don't know... I'll figure it out.

I would love a deposit and packages for Christmas :D I would send them mid-November. Elder Garrison says the same thing. Because it shouldn't take too long. And if they arrive early, you can send more if you'd like :) haha... But yeah, mid-November...

I don't get to go to Buenos Aires for the temple re-dedication, but I do get to go to the stake-center to watch it... super cool.

Where are Craig and Lindsey living at the moment?

Yeah, actually, I know all of those missionaries in that photo from Facebook. The one in the red Utes shirt is Elder Patterson, my MTC companion. And most of them I see every week at District Meeting. They work on the north end of Santa Rosa and I'm on the south.

I'm glad you got the cooler fixed. I was about to get defensive saying that it wasn't me..... haha. I would kill for even a swamp cooler here in the summertime. Most of the houses here don't even have those... just windows and shutters.... fun fact for the day.

Oh, and btw, WE MOVED... pictures coming soon. We moved from our big sweet yellow house to a huge apartment by the grocery store that we always go to. It's really cool, with a big balcony and everything. The only problems are that WE don't have gas nor electricity. Remember how it was for me in Tandil right when I left? Yeah, I'm having flashbacks...

Does Brice's son go with them to church?

Hey I need Karson´s address... I think I have it, but we are pretty disorganized at the moment. If you can find it for me that would be fantastic.. Voy a mandarle una carta bajar la caña... How's he doing by the way?
